Great vocal quality
The AKG C520 has a 2.5 m (approx.) cable and connects directly to the XLR input of a mixing desk, amp etc. It's great for situations where you require good separation between the vocalist and the background, such as a keyboard player etc. It has a surprisingly good vocal quality and is a very useful addition to any home studio or live performance gear.

Insoportablemente incómodo, y no vale la pena
Una desventaja es que el cable es delgado y me parece frágil. No se puede desconectar para reemplazar. Con un cable tan delgado, me perece inevitable que se quebrara y por el precio es una lastima que no hay manera simple de reemplazarlo. Lo que lo hace terrible, sin embargo, es lo incómodo es el soporte. Aun después de ajustarlo por una hora, simplemente no podía soportarlo. Aprieta la cabeza demasiado, y el plástico alrededor del alambre metal es incómodo. El cuello del micrófono es demasiado corto, tanto que si quiero el micrófono en frente de mi boca, lo necesitara tragar, aun después de ajustarlo. Al hablar de ajustarlo, es muy difícil. Cambiar el lado del micrófono o ajustar las ganchos de oído me hizo sudar. Pensé que lo quebrara por la fuerza necesaria mover las piezas del soporte o quitar el micrófono. Quizá con otro soporte sería buen producto, pero ni siquiera podía evaluar como funciona por como se siente tenerlo puesto. Por el precio, esperaría que fuera más cómodo.

Holy handling noise
I've had this mic for a little over a year. I'm a singing drummer. Bought based on the reviews here. The mic works OK but it has a LOT of handling noise. Any movement of the cable causes significant noise, and loud pops from head movement are common. The head band is also not very comfortable, it's a little much when you're wearing it 2-3 hours. Maybe I got a bad one? I expected much more from a microphone at this price. Maybe someone from Harman wants to get in touch with me to discuss?

Great quality, but is it for you?
The boom places the microphone at the edge of your mouth. While that is effective I returned it because I wanted a boom mic that was directly in front of my mouth. The Crown CM311A was the one I ended up with.
